Teas are the gentle, natural, most beneficial way to absorb the healing properties of herbs--easily and inexpensively. A simple cup of tea not only has the power to soothe and relax but to deliver healing herbal agents to the bloodstream more quickly than capsules, tinctures, or infusions. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp

Typhoo Echinacea with Orange Herbal
Tea Review

A Real Sweet Orange Tea

Summary : One of the more surprising teas I've had
in a while, this echinacea orange tea packs a very strong sweet flavor
to it. And the taste of the tea is all orange. So if you like sweet
orange teas, this tea
is
for
you.

Review : It's a real bummer that the California Citrus
crop was essentially frozen over this past year. The freeze caused the
price of orange juice to skyrocket here in the Biggest Little City in
the World. And being on a limited budget, orange juice quickly found
itself jettisoned for the most part out of my diet ($4.50 for 64 ounces
of OJ...I don't think so!). Yet, I love oranges. And so, perhaps out
of desperation, I turned to tea this
past
year to
satisfy my "orange fixation."

And so tonight, desperate for something
"orange", I pulled out an exotic sounding tea from Typhoo called Echinacea
with Orange Kick...a unique herbal tea if there ever was one.

I don't think I've ever come across a tea that contains quite this lengthy
list of ingredients before. Let alone a tea that contains such diverse
ingredients...from cinnamon to echinacea to orange juice.

The fragrance of the tea right outside of the wrapper isn't entirely
uplifting. While you can use your imagination a bit to catch the fragrance
of orange in this tea, you do have to work at it. By no means does the
fragrance of the tea leaves jump out and say ORANGE.

But this changes, happily, as soon as you add water. Once boiling water
is added, the fragrance of orange is unleashed in this tea. And so, with
the happy fragrance or orange drifting around my kitchen, I waited seven
minutes for the tea to brew.

I must say, this tea was one of the more surprising teas I've had in
a while. And surprising in a good way too. I truthfully had no idea what
to expect from it, but I never expected to find a tea would ever
ever come close to rivaling the strong, sweet flavor of orange like I
had found in Tazo's Wild Sweet
Orange Herbal Tea. But my, does this tea
come close.

The first sip of this tea is a real eye opener. Talk about super sweet.
And I do mean SWEET. And the flavor is ALL orange. Oh, you can taste
a little bit of lemon from the depths of this tea, but you have to stretch
to find it. But the orange, my, what a strong flavor it is. And of course,
with me being a orange-a-holic, I found the flavor of this tea to be
quite pleasing if very different.

So, is this tea for you? Good question. It certainly isn't if you don't
like sweet, and a bit sour, teas. Likewise, if oranges aren't too your
liking, this tea will not be too your liking either. But, if "sweet"
and "oranges" is part of your middle name, you owe it to yourself to
give this tea a try. At a minimum, it will certainly be a "unique tea
tasting experience" that stands far outside any other tea flavors you
are likely to find.

Recommendation : Yes...assuming you like orange teas
and sweet teas. This tea is really, really sweet, with a very strong
flavor of orange. If you like sweet things, and orange things, then this
tea must be tried.
